(10,751 posts)That is your entire argument. It is based on nothing other than politics.
You will not find a lot of Rand Paul supporters around here, but you will find many who are glad he brought this issue up for debate.
As for the "illogical dust in the air", again: I am borrowing your own reasoning here. YOU agree with John Bolton and Dick "Heart of Darkness" Cheney as to the President's power to use drones to assassinate American citizens. That makes you a supporter of them, by the same token that you tell us we are supporting (or excuse me, "validating"
Rand Paul if we agree at all with his use of the filibuster to bring up debate on this issue.
And as usual you completely ignore the question I posed: does Amy Goodman also enjoy your enmity, since she has expressed support for Rand Paul's filibuster and mentions Glenn Greenwald's article? Do you claim that she must be a Rand Paul supporter, since she agreed with his use of the filibuster for this issue? Or do you only apply that reasoning to some of us and not others? If so, how do you decide who is able to reason out issues on their own, vs. those who need your guidance in order to arrive at the correct conclusion?
